We have ambitious goals, world class commissioning teams, distinctive new audio content, and more innovative product developments still to come. So it’s an exciting time to join the team.
Role Responsibility

You will work closely with the commissioning team to support the development, commissioning, delivery and promotion of podcasts that will be known and loved by 18-34 year old mainstream audiences. You’ll help us decide which podcasts to make for our audiences.
You’ll love podcasts and spot emerging trends and podcast talent that you’ll be excited to tell the rest of the BBC Sounds commissioning team about. You’ll always be thinking about audiences and what they want to hear from the BBC.
You’ll also need to be really well organised and to support the team with essential admin that keeps the show on the road. You’ll need to be a kind, collaborative and well-organised person as the job requires coordination within our team and with lots of other departments.
NB - This is a commissioning role and does not involve making content.
